Activities

Club Sessions Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:00 – 9:00 pm: These are a great way to get to know other club members and to encourage new members to play. (Play is limited to doubles of one set and then players mix-in to allow everyone present a fair share of the play.) 

Sunday Morning Social Tennis:  on the first Sunday of every month 10:00 am – 12:00 noon (on a drop-in basis). Volunteers will be there to facilitate play. This is particularly aimed at those who don’t play on Tuesday / Thursday club nights.

 Beginners and improvers course and follow up sessions: A beginners/improvers course is offered every year from around mid April, for eight weeks, to coincide with the start of the Summer tennis season. The sessions are held on Friday evenings from 6pm to 7.30 and are open to both ALTC members and non members. Contact Bev Woodcock 07765 932760 bnwoodcock@yahoo.co.uk for details. Following the course, ‘Pay and Play’ (PnP) sessions will continue on Fridays with the same format but with more time to play games.  PnP will also be available on Sundays from 5pm to 6.30 while the course is running

Fun-time Friday Club Night: generally from around mid November the PnP sessions will cease and be replaced by an informal clubnight 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Particularly aimed at graduates of the beginners and improvers course but everyone is welcome.
